...Heartbleed, Spectre, Meltdown... VaxMod? I have no ideas :(

  Having a name for a big CVE is actually quite a good idea because it's much easier to string a narrative together around it to convince people to take it seriously. Spectre is better than something like "Novel data exfiltration from branch prediction using a cache side-channel, variant 3" or similar.

    Haha totally agree. Much like vaccine nomenclature.
